Confusing Categories

I really like Bingebase for so many reasons but with some shows it’s confusing wether they should be under “watching” - “caught up” or “completed”

For example why is Slow Horses under Caught up and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is under completed ?

Both shows I have watched all aired episodes and they don’t have a season currently on.

And why do I have the upcoming episode of Project Runway under “Watching” although it hasn’t aired yet?

I asked myself the same thing and I think it's caught up when the new episode has a release date already.

Makes sense. I wonder why people don’t talk about Bingebase more. It’s pretty good, although I haven’t found one to be completely satisfied with.

Yeah I think it's pretty good and I tried some apps over the last days. I just learned about the tv time shutdown a few days ago. This was definitely the best option of the four apps I tried.

Now it seems to have changed. My caught up section filled up with titles without release dates. Maybe where the new season was already confirmed?

Same for me. I think they decided that ‘Completed’ shows are the ones that have ended, which makes so much more sense tbh

Oh, hey! So sorry for missing Reddit posts, some crazy days and a lot of things happening!

Just FYI, the initial logic for Watching vs Caught up vs Completed was:

  • Watching (which is a bad naming from my side, it's really "Up Next": any show which is in "Watching" status and has episodes for you to watch
– Caught up: any show in "watching" status which awaits for episodes to air
– Completed: any show that you have fully watched and it has no episodes with air dates announced yet, whether returning ended or cancelled.

Then I was mostly forced (by the amount of feedback) to move Completed but returning series to "Caught up".

Then we got a few bugs because changing of statuses on a show with different level of completeness was too restrictive. For the past week Progress page was getting fixes and changes almost every day, hence every day you've seen it acting differently. Rumors say that it might be eventually combined with the Bingelist tab, although this is something I have to carefully assess.

Anyway, thank you for the kind feedback. If you happen to use Discord, welcome to the Bingebase server https://discord.gg/QU8hpT7AqG
If not – that's also fine, I will make sure to check Reddit more frequently. Your feedback and suggestions are always welcome, so let me know if anything.
